pronounced dudes) were out on Sunday be-
decked in new and elegant suits, cut in &C

the most stylish and best fitting suits, we
were glad to note those of home manufac-

luxury, we are not at all envious; we rath r
feel sorry for people who have so many
good clothes, Of course they want to show
them all, and as they can only wear one
suit at time, what bother it must be to
decide which they will put on. We have
no trouble of this kind, for like Christie
pher Sly, having no more shoes than feet,
pants than legs, OF coats than backs, we
are free from the petty cares of dress. AS
long as one suit lasts we are happy, but the
present supply, with some of us, is getting
rather short of the demand, even for sum-
mer wear. Hence cash subscriptions, and
the payment of dues are in order.

licious until Friday night, when they
were rudely disturbed by Mr.. Bramburg,
OF Perry county, and Mr.. Goldsmith, of
Greenyille, who tore the husband away
from the side Of his weeping bride. She
begged ~piteously for him, but to no pup

Mr.. Bramburg when he assured her that
her alleged husband was q bold, bad man,
who had three other wives equally as
anxious for his presence as she was.
8The charges upon which he was ar
rested and wanted in Perry county were
adultery, bigamy and grand larceny. It
seems that Grammar, who is NOT above
80 years of age, began his careerof mash
ing at an early age. His first venture
was in Tuscaloosa county, where he msr-
ried . lady eight years age who was at
the time about 10 years old. He disap-
peared from the place mysteriously,

and, In a few months, when he. tired OF
her, sent her back to them with
an infant %grandchild. He then con.
cluded to jump the state for a
while. and made his next con-
guest In Mississippi, where, in
November, 1885, he was married with
much local display, to the toniest wife he
had yet secured. His career there was
short lived, however, as some whispers
OF his past life had followed him, and he
had a wholesome dread Of tar and feath-
ers, asad perhaps, a rope. 1t was then he
wandered back into Butler county, this
state, where he touched the susceptible
heart Of Miss Davidson.
Grammar says that he has never been
married but twice; that he and his first
wife could not get along together, and
separated, and that he had not been di-
yorced from her when he married the
Butler county girl. He denies the
charge that he mas four living wives, and
